What is a Rubric
It is set of scoring guidelines that evaluate
students' work and provide a clear teaching
directive.
Rubrics are a powerful, authentic tool used to
assess students' work. This scoring tool lists
specific criteria for a project or piece of work.
The criterion helps students to have a concrete
understanding and visualization of "what
counts".

Conclusion
Evaluating speaking may be troublesome at
some point, for this its necessary to stablish what
you want to evaluate; at the same time ask
students to participate in the elaboration of the
testing rubric in order for them to set their own
goals and set standards for themselves.
By doing this you will avoid arbitrary and biased
oral evaluations.
